380 unders 24th Aug – Mr Aurazkai Started by: lisd

Hi jmurray, yeah I had 380s. It took me a while to decide between 380s n 410s, choosing the size is the worst bit! Feeling a little tender today n not as much movement as yesterday but painkillers r sorting me out! It’s still better than I thought it wud b tho, I imagined a lot more pain n discomfort. Xx

Hi Micha, certain surgeons use drains n my surgeon is one of them. They all have there own methods of doin things, ie I had drains but no dressings, n have to wear a sports bra 4 6wk. I was dreading the drains but they were fine! If u didn’t have drains the body passes the fluids anyway but that’s when u usually hear strange noises comin from ur boobs. I think u can have drains wit unders or overs but not sure Xx

Hi Laura, it feels worse today defo! It’s more of a pressure than pain but that’s prob bcos in keeping on top of painkillers! I love my boobs, can’t help wondering how much is swelling tho! Don’t mind them going down a bit but not loads! I’m starting to bruise 2day especially inbetween boobs, that’s the most tender part of my chest. When r u goin seeing the nurse? I’m goin next tue at 12. Dreading plasters bein took off cos part of them r on my scars!! Xx

Mine r rock hard to. Even attempting to move them slightly kills so I’m leaving them well alone! I had glue instead of stitches, but the plaster for my drains is huge n looks like its partly on top of incision, I hope to god its not stuck to it, that wil kill to take it off! Iv been knackered today, think the ga has caught up with me! Can’t wait to start feeling normal! X

Hi cwhelan, iv neva had stitches either so cudnt say. Iv heard stitches can feel tight n itchy, haven’t had that wit the glue but that might b bcos its early days? X

Hi rach, don’t no wot u mean about lower incision? He told me where he wud do incision so that it wud b covered by the new creases underneath my new boobs! I wil send u a pic off my phone Xx

Good luck to you both 4 ur ops x

Hi Laura, iv slept most of 2day n jus done a bit of washing n tidying. Think that wiped me out then 4 rest of afternoon. I managed to do a lot more yesterday but hopefully I wil feel better 2moz after 2days rest! I hate sitting round doin nothin 2, its bloody boring! Xx

Hi girls,

Natalie – Sorry you don’t have the option about drains. If you did i wouldn’t have had them either, but it really is nothing to worry about! I was more worried about the drains than the actual op! It feels weird to say the least but as long as you breathe when told i’m sure you will be fine.

Rebecca – I didn’t find the forum until after my consult so i ended up going back to see him again & he was really understanding. The plasters were just tight & pulled a bit, they were uncomfortable but didn’t hurt. I ended up pulling them off a bit more each day until one actually fell off & the nurse took the other one off. It felt soooo much better when they were off! The mya nurse said they must have run out of normal plasters because they are not usually that big?

I know that my experience has been a dream really & not everyone has been as lucky, but I would do it again tomorrow! If i would have know it would have been that easy in would have done it years ago!

If you have any questions feel free to ask XX
